All jokes aside, i've never had big power cars and once I put on Sport+, i love the pull from the V6. Except one time, I floored it only to find a E63 literally caught up within secs and flew past me like i was stationary, i was reaching 80mph at the time.

Don't forget that E63 also drinks gas twice as fast as urs. If not trice as fast.

I will answer this quite literally. Both at car washes and at drive in restaurants, like Sonic, I am always getting people in their late teens or early twenties who say some version of "Man, I sure like your car!" I can't help but smiling.

For the record I've had a red 1998 and a red 2008 GS. I dont remember this happening before at all. But it happens every week or so with my red GS350 that I got in May.

Along with everything else mentioned, auto this and that. At this time of year I like the adaptive lighting. Helps when going around turns. Never thought much about it, but now that I have it, love it.

I had it on my 07 ES and other than novelty factor thought it had no effect. But it functions a little differently on my GS. Each headlight seems to move independently from the other. The ES's only moved jointly and only when over 25-30mph, which means it didn't function at all in slow speed turns. The GS is speed limited too, but seems to activate at around 15mph.

So I've been driving the Accord for a week now and this car has been hibernating and I took it out of hibernation cause I can't hold the urge to drive it anymore. I was like this the whole time. Running errands never felt so good. lol That ML system made everything else sounds bad and the growl from the engine... damn! made me feel like a little kid again! U know u made the right choice when ur like this the whole time.

I just love the sublime feel of the car and the ability of the car to handle the curves with confident and return a smooth and planted ride that none of my german cars can give.

Driving it today in S+ and I just love how this thing slams into gears at full throttle.

those crazy AFS headlights are just tooooo cool. Found myself driving around last night swirving all over the place just too watch them
Only had the vehicle for 11 days now and you'd think I was driving a neon colred car. People don't just give the car a glancing look, they actually stop and stare at it !!
I live in a city of 100,000 people smack dab in the middle of two large cities and I've yet to see another gen 4 GS!

A neighbour has an a new IS but is as close to a Gen 4 GS I've seen. So not only do I have an awesome new vehicle, it's a rare bird here!
Lots of new Porches, BMW, Mercedes,Tonnes of Audis... Strange?

Can't list just one.

- Just the overall sexiness of the exterior and lines of the car. It really is a beautiful car IMO.
- My cabernet interior
- LED lights under trim
- 12.5" screen
- S+ mode
- 16 way adjustable seats
- Adjustable steering wheel (I'm used to only adjusting a steering wheel up or down)

We just dropped our GS for 20k service and had few other things looked at. We got a 2015 RX350 as loaner. I did not realize how much I loved the GS until we had the RX for a day....the tiny nav screen, instrument gauges and dash felt cheap after owning the GS. Nav screens will never be the same
